Visa
Who Needs a Visa?
For a scientific conference in Australia, your country of passport determines if you need an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) visa (subclass 601), an eVisitor visa (subclass 651), or a Visitor visa (subclass 600) Business Visitor stream. New Zealand citizens do not require a visa to enter Australia. If you're not sure about your visa requirements, please check the official Australian Government Department of Home Affairs website at https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-finder
What type of visa do you need?
If you're attending ACIS 2026 as a conference participant, you will likely need a business visitor visa rather than a tourist visa. Business visitor activities include attending conferences, seminars, and meetings; giving presentations or keynote lectures; and participating in professional networking events. The specific visa type depends on your nationality and passport, so please verify the requirements well in advance of your travel dates.
If you require a travel visa, we can provide a letter of invitation for the conference. Please email the organisers who will be happy to assist with the letter.
